Renewable energy generation
Technologies and systems enabling the production of energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydro and geothermal, supporting large-scale deployment, system integration and cost reduction.
Energy storage
Solutions for storing energy across different time scales, including batteries, thermal storage, hydrogen and other storage technologies that increase flexibility and resilience of energy systems.
Hydrogen and Power-to-X
Technologies converting electricity into hydrogen or other energy carriers, enabling sector coupling and decarbonisation of industry, transport and energy systems.
Identity, access and data security
Ensures that the right people and systems can use the right information at the right time and that everyone else is kept out. Technologies that ensure secure access, authentication and protection of sensitive data. Concrete examples are adaptive authentication, enhanced access control and cryptographic identity wallets.
Smart energy systems grids
Digital and physical solutions that enable intelligent, flexible and secure energy systems, including smart grids, demand response, system optimisation and data-driven energy management.
Energy efficiency and electrification
Technologies and solutions that reduce energy demand and replace fossil-based energy use with electricity, supporting decarbonisation across industry, buildings and transport.
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS)
Technologies that capture, utilise or store carbon dioxide to reduce emissions from hard-to-abate sectors and support climate-neutral energy and industrial systems.
Energy system integration and flexibility
Projects addressing the integration of multiple energy vectors, infrastructures and end-use sectors, improving system efficiency, resilience and scalability.
Heating and cooling
Supports new innovative heating and cooling methods, ways of making them more efficient and resilient. It could involve socially important functions when the energy system is exposed to stress and solutions that secure heating and cooling in the event of disruptions.
Mobility
Intelligent and sustainable transport and mobility solutions are a key part of the green energy transition. Smart and secure energy solutions for future mobility will focus on the interface of energy and mobility as well as related ICT and electronics. Interaction with other vehicles and smart electric mobility infrastructure can have a crucial indirect role as a grid stability element.
